WordPress popularity also is cause for it to be uniquely vulnerable to targeting by hackers. WordPress popularity, the fact all of its web building facilities are hosted online, within its own website, means that once a vulnerability has been found on one site, it's there on all, so there is a constant update for its core code and plug-ins to both plug these gaps and to take advantage of ever newer technology.
This means there are three main areas to consider when hosting a WordPress site.
1) Updates - a hosting platform needs to be on the peak of the wave with constant code updates for the databases and PHP core code on the servers and with WordPress demanding ever more resources again it puts pressure on to the hosting platform for physical resources such as RAM and increasing disc space usage.
2) Security - malware scanning of the sites, brute force protection, backups and repair if a site has had an attack, compromise or hack, with a guaranteed speed of return to live.
3) CDN (Content Deliver Network) - this is the appearing to be local, globally. Websites perform best in the country they are hosted; the ping backs and speed of delivery are faster and of course search engines will deliver local sites better. CDN is the use of a global network of computers to deliver the websites content locally improving the global reputation of the website.
